Precedence.

If she gets away with it, it'll encourage other morons to do similar bonehead shit.

Shit man... you must have some spunky-looking warthogs in your neck of the woods?

At any rate, I'm not that certain she "got away" with anything. She was publicly humiliated for weeks, even here in Australia, and was sacked from her clerical job—for "just" being exposed as one of the planet's many thousands of bigots.

OLB- her appearance really doesn't matter. But I really don't think she's ugly. I think her hairstyle, if you could call it that, isn't doing her any favors. And she makes terrible fashion choices. But otherwise, I think she's just a very generic middle-aged lady with a friendly smile. It's too bad there's so much bile behind the smile.

You are right about the homophobic bigots, though. Many are likely closeted gay or bi and either aren't self-aware enough to realize it or know it and hate that part of themselves. But some people are really just hateful people.

Ugly isn't just about looks. A sunny disposition, a good sense of humor or a modicum of intelligence makes anyone " look" more attractive.

What that bitch has got going on is ugly right down to the bone...

Because why should they have to go somewhere else?
It's not their responsibility that tax payer money is being spent on lawyers because of this, it's 100% the fault of that bitch.

I wonder if she'll get them high-falutin' fancy expensive lawyers for free this time? My guess is they threw her away a long time ago.

Funny that when the cameras go the big fancy expensive lawyers who are defending you for free go with them...
It's almost like they were just doing it for publicity and not because they actually believed in your "cause"...
